nice kill, but hard to believe with that 103 trap speed.

that's what I was thinking,

even my first day at the track with my 05 gto, running 13.9 I was trapping 105-106
now I'm trapping as high as 108.8 on my 13.5 runs and around 106.8 on my 13.1 runs

but, it's always fun to shut up someone who's being cocky

I'm thinking you beat the driver since your "H.O." T/A (and ram air even) only traps 103. The LS2 is no slouch...but either way...

Not really, lots of LS2 GTO's suck *** around here. One guy has an 05 auto and best he ran was a 13.9 at under 100mph if I recall. His slip looked good too, it was a 2.1X 60' IIRC, maybe a 2.2 at worst. The guys dad managed a 13.7@102 or something in HIS 6-speed GTO. Some GTO's are dogs and some are sick. Another guy I know runs high 13's@102-105 in his.

My friends, there is not a fast GTO here where I live either. We smoke em' all day long in the LS1 cars.

Good kill friend! Way to close the gaiter on that cocky racer.

Driver error, good kill either way

What is the definition of slow? Slower than you?

If you beat a GTO by only 1 car length then I'd say that means you're pretty slow too.

I trapped 104.90 in my '05 GTO in 85* weather and I was stock down to the paper air filter.

I'd say I should be a bit faster than that now (Heads/Cam/Headers/Exhaust went on this weekend).......but I'm still SLOW.

Hey as a matter of fact I have never seen a fast GTO.
FYI a heads/cam/nitrous GTO will lose to a stock Fbody because they are uglier lol.
